To aJZZ whom, it may coi/werft:

Beit known that I, WILLIAEI WATTIE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Vorces ter, in the county of Vvorcester and State ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inShuttleHolder Attachments for Looms; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact in the loom; and the object of myinvention is to provide on a loom a simple and readily-accessiblereceptacle for the extra shuttles, which are kept in readiness to be putin the loom when the filling runs out.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a portion ofa loom with Iny invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is asection on line XX, Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow, same figure; and Fig.3 is a perspective view ofthe shuttle-holder attachment and asupplementary attachment for holding the' bobbins detached from theloom.

In the accompanying drawings, lis the loomside, 2 the crank-shaft, 3 thebottom shaft, 4t the lay, and 5, Fig. 1, the projecting drop-box layend, ofan ordinaryloom. The part marked 6 is a stand bolted to the loomside, which carries on the inside a series of shelves, 7, set at such adistance apart that the shuttles 18, Fig. 2, used on the loom will passfreely between them. Formed on the edges of the shelves 7 are flanges 8and 9, a sufficient distance apart to admit a shuttle between them andhigh enough to prevent a shuttle being taken side- Wise from theshelves. The end of each shelf 7 toward the back of the loom :isprovided with a flange, 10, in which is set, preferably, a small Wood orleather disk, 11, against which the tip of the shuttle rests when on theshelf. The shelves 7 are inclined toward the back, so that gravityprevents the jar of the loom from working the shuttles oiI the shelves.

In order to retain the shuttle on the top shelf, the upper end of thestand 6 is turned inward and projects over the shuttle. Fastened also tothe stand 6 in Fig. 1 is asupplementary at tachrn'ent consisting of abox, 12, whichpro jects outward' any distance not exceeding that of thelay end 5, and is stayed by the brace 13, resting against the 1oom-side.The width of the box is about the same as the length of the cops used,and the depth as desired.

In Fig. 1 the box 12 is represented with di visions 14, separating thedifferent colors of cops.

When the filling to be used is Wound on bobbins, instead of cop-tubes, Iprefer to use azrack, 15, Figg, provided with pins 16 extending uptherefrom for the reception of the bobbins 17, in lieu of the box 12.(Shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and above described.)

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with a loom-side, of the stand 6,bolted thereto, and aseries of inclined stationary shelves, 7, having side flanges and an endliange supported on said stand for furnishing a supplementary attachmentfor the reception of extra shuttles, substantially as shown anddescribed.

VILLIAM WATTIE.
